The X Factor's New Format, Does It Work?
The whole nation has been anticipating the return of the X Factor to our TV screens. The summer can be quite boring for TV as a lot of the great shows are only aired in the winter. After the 2009 success of Britain's Got Talent, the X Factor was set to return with a huge bang, and it did. The first week has recently appeared on TV screens throughout the nation and it has been a hit.
There have been a few changes in the format of the show now though; people must now audition in front of a huge audience in the style of Britain's Got Talent. But how did the new show fair this year? Obviously we always knew that the first X Factor broadcast of the year is going to attract millions of viewers, so the first show must deliver.
Personally in my opinion I feel that the audition stage of the show is now a bit too pre made and acted, with all the settings and music. As a music fan I do not want this, for the initial audition I just want to hear the raw voice without any backing music or without any microphone. In my opinion that was the best thing about the show, it started off very slowly where you could really hear the raw and unique talent in peoples voices and then it slowly picked up moving into boot camp with a bit of backing music, then it went into the judges house before going onto the huge live final stage.
But now it just seems too much like a show, more than it does a talent contest. What I say is that you do not have to reinvent the wheel if it is not broken. I mean we found huge talent with the normal show, people such as Leona Lewis, Shayne Ward and Alexandra Burke, so there is really no need to change it all.
Anyhow the first show would be exactly how you would have expected. There was some good talent such as Stacey and Danyl Johnson who has already become a YouTube success as his video has already hit over one million views. He has also made an impression in the United States who seem to avidly be watching UK television since the finding of Leona Lewis on the show a few years back.
Again I feel that the X factor is progressing to keep up with changing trends and the success of Britain's Got Talent. But personally it does not need it, as long as the X Factor has good singers, then that is enough.
